How to download CTP files from China Futures Market Monitoring Center and upload into MAF Portal?
We recommend you to use Google Chrome browser to access MAF Cloud. You may change the server location (Singapore/China) and language (English/Chinese) at the top right corner of the login page or under Settings.
If the auto-capture CTP function in Paper Trades in MAF Portal does not work, you may opt to manually upload your files into the system by accessing the China Futures Market Monitoring Center to download the files.

This is applicable for all types of products - futures, forward, spot and options products etc.
Hedge/Speculation
Tick: Tick the “H/S” checkbox to allow the original “TRADE TYPE” (Hedge/Speculation) in the file to be displayed.
Untick: If unticked, “TRADE TYPE” will be displayed as Speculation by default for all trades.
6. Please hover your mouse over the “…” at the top right corner of the page to view the brokers file template e.g. you may search for “CTP Position”, and upload your CSV file. You may contact us at support@mafint.com if the broker name is not available in the list.
